What happens if my child loses the student identification card?
back to top
The cashier will record the student’s name and later enter the information. A new card will have to be made by the Food Service Department at a replacement cost of $5.00.
What if my child still has credit on POS at the end of the school year?
back to top
Any additional cash will be carried over to the following year. For students moving to another SASD school, the balance will automatically be forwarded to the account at the new school. Students leaving the district will receive the balance in their account in a check made payable to the responsible adult, as requested. Forms for a cash withdrawal for students graduating or leaving the district are available from the school cafeteria manager.
Can my child still use cash in the cafeteria?
back to top
YES! Cash may still be used in the cafeteria, accompanied by the ID card, but parents are strongly encouraged to deposit money in the account which will make the cafeteria lines far more efficient. The debit system is set up to serve the customer with optimal speed when cashiers do NOT have to wait for cash and make change. The ID/Debit card must still be presented to record the number of lunches. One of the benefits of POS, however, is the elimination of lost or forgotten money. The lunch lines will operate with greater efficiency as we move toward a “cashless” system.
What if my child qualifies for free meals?
back to top
Your child only needs his student ID/Debit card. All ID/Debit cards look exactly the same. It is impossible to differentiate between paid, free or reduced lunches. If your child is allowed to purchase snack items, money must be deposited into their account.
Can Point of Sale (POS) be used to purchase a breakfast?
back to top
Yes, POS can be used to purchase breakfast. A paid breakfast is $.90. Students qualifying for free lunches are also able to have a free breakfast. For students paying a reduced price, the breakfast is $.30 and can be deducted from their debit account.
How do I deposit money into my child's account?
back to top
Please use the DEPOSIT FORM for your PRE-PAYMENTS. Deposit forms are also available at each cash register in the cafeteria and in the school office. Any amount of money may be deposited at any time. A check should be made out to the “SASD Cafeteria Account.” YOUR CHILD’S NAME AND GRADE MUST BE ON EACH CHECK and placed in a sealed envelope. Students deposits (cash or checks) are to be given to the Food Service Manager in the cafeteria kitchen BEFORE LUNCH on Monday morning or the first day of the week that they are in school. Please write a separate check for each child if they are in different schools.
